social institutions

social institutions

Within the lecture notes you are provided two different social institutions, Education and Religion.  You will have two options for this assignment.

1. Religion: I would like you to choose a religious belief system that differs from your own and research such things as: Country of origin, leaders, similarity in beliefs, differences in beliefs (from your own beliefs), practices, rituals, traditions, etc.

2. Education:  Provide a argument based essay in regards to public vs. private vs. home schooling.  Does the nature of the process change the “functions” of education?  Based on the text and lecture notes, does the substance of education change based on how it is executed?
